Annette Joseph Book Signing and Culinary Class

From the venue:

Annette's newest book, The Sweet Life at La Fortezza, is more than just an assembly of Italian dessert recipes, it's a celebration of the home and lifestyle she's created over decades of exploring the authentic people, places and crafts that transcend the latest consumer trends. The result is a collection of stories and beautiful photographs that feel both real and deeply rewarding.

In this demonstration, Annette will be whipping up one of her favorite "Nonna" desserts--a dreamy lemon ricotta cake.  However,  Annette does not just talk about Italian food.  She truly puts it into the context of Italian culture. As a resident in a very unique region ( a lesser known part of Northern Tuscany) Annette has found a lot of traditional recipes, ingredients and techniques that haven't been abandoned. She loves to celebrate these... which is like celebrating authentic Italian life.
